Homes damaged, roads closed by tornado

19 Jun, 2009 04:25 PM
SOUTH Bunbury and Carey Park residents are assessing the damage to their homes and Bunbury Police have closed roads while storm debris is cleared after a tornado hit the suburbs at 11.20am this morning.

There are trees blocking roads at numerous places along Hastie Street and its side streets.

Bunbury police and rangers have closed the roads and the clean-up is underway.

Elanora Villas aged home on the street was reportedly hit very hard by the storm.

Mininup Road at the corner of Mangles Drive has been reopened to traffic again after it was closed due to fallen power lines.

The mini tornado’s path of destruction went down Hastie Street towards the Bunbury racecourse and then continued North West towards Kelly Park.

There are still power lines down and trees on roads along some streets in Carey Park.

I Hope that Everyone is OK.

I am feeling a bit stressed out at the moment because I got several phone calls from my neighbors letting me know that my house has been damaged and I am over in Queensland ....

great way to start my holidays.

I just pray that no one was hurt and hope that the residents at Elanora Villas wern't too shaken up.

Regards David Hastie Street Bunbury

When will the media stop labelling these things "mini" tornadoes. They are TORNADOES in every way.
